I've been tagged!!

I've been tagged by Lynn at The Queen's Scene, if you've never visited Lynn's blog you really need to go and check it out, her work is fabulous. Now I'm supposed to list seven random things about myself, so here it goes.

7 random things about myself:

1. I'm more addicted to buying stamping stuff than I am to actually using it.

2. I want to adopt a child, but my husband is against it.

3. Everything must go! I cannot stand clutter and I hate when anyone moves anything from exactly where I think it belongs!

4. I love Fall and Halloween, its my favorite time of the year, but I miss being a kid at Christmas!!

5. I have been out of work since 3/17/08. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have been in a lot of pain. That's why I don't post as often or leave as many comments. It really bothers me to be on the computer and to stamp.

6. I always wanted to be a photographer and would love to take classes and someday maybe even have a career doing it.

7. I want a Hobby Lobby close to the 13318 zip code or I'm gonna have to move to Michigan! It seems like they have it all there, the best stamp stores and very nice people!!

Now its my turn to tag 7 other bloggers:

Random stuff tag from Donna

Random stuff tag from Donna

10 years ago I was: 10 years ago today I was getting married in 9 days. I worked for Fleet Bank, which is now Bank of America.

5 things on my to-do-list today: Make a card, get some images stamped that need to be sent out, upload RAK's I received, cut and mount stamps, and getting ready for a Garage Sale!

Snacks I love: I used to love all kinds of snacks, anything with chocolate, chips, ice cream, slim jims, and pepperoni and cheese. Since I have been sick, I barely eat at all and have not touched one piece of chocolate or any of my other favorite snacks. I have lost around 60 lbs. (YAY!! for the weight loss, boo for having to be sick to do it!!)

Things I will do when I am a millionaire: quit working, remodel our home and put on an addition so my mom can come live with us, travel to see all my new SCS and Blogging friends, make wise investments and open a stamp/gift shoppe.

Places I have lived: I have lived in NY all my life. Actually in one house for about 33 of my 39 years. After my mom moved, we moved into the house I grew up in in Frankfort. I have also lived in Utica, Clayville and now Cassville. Not very adventurous I guess!!

I'd like to know this stuff about the following people because I didn't know them 10 yrs ago:

Lim - The voices in my head
Bonnie's Blog
Judy - Designs by Nanny
Dawn - Dawn's Special Creations
Lynn - The Queen's Scene

I look forward to your answers!!

A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge #3

My bestest blogging buddy Lim sent me these sweet images and encouraged me to join this challenge! I was a bit skeptical and still am, but here is my card. For some reason the bib on her dress looks yellow, but it is green! Since she said she would forget she knows me if I don't post it I figured I'd better!! I know she couldn't stop loving me though! LOL!!

The Challenge:

3-2-1

We would like you to use a Recipe 3 brads or buttons 2-pattern papers and 1 flower.
We have a gorgeous Sweet Art Ebony pickin apples stamp kindly donated by Deb up for grabs this week, To be in with a chance to win it, just leave us a comment with a link to your work, and we will randomly pick 1 winner next week.

If you would like to see the design teams creations or enter the challenge you can do so at A Spoon Full of Sugar!

I used Basic Grey designer papers, Chocolate Chip and Pink Passion. I also used Stickles and Spica Glitter pens. It is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. Not sure if you can see it, but I also pierced all around the edge. This stamp is by Rachelle Anne Miller.

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it!! Good thing it's a random drawing!! LOL!

Woo Hoo/ TSBC #15

I made this card for my nephew Marcus and TSBC#15!

The rules:

Use Blue and green
Use at least one brad and flower
Should be cutesy

Since I am now taking on Flirt's role of slacker I felt that meant I didn't need to follow the directions either! So I substituted the eyelets for the brads and the banana for a flower. Otherwise, I think I followed directions, there is blue and green and it's kinda cute!!

Thanks for looking!

With Sympathy for (SCS'er) Orangegymnut's (Tanya's) Mom

Many of you may remember that there was an RAK request for Tanya's step-dad, Sadly he passed away and I just wanted to send condolences to his wife. The inside reads "Your loved one will always be as close as a memory, and the God of all comfort as close as a prayer.

I did the piercing with the Darice plastic mesh shapes found at AC Moore in the sewing area!!

I also made a ScorPal border around the edge of the white, but it doesn't show up very well in the photo!!

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

tamps: Close as a Memory

Paper: lack and Purely Pomegranate

Ink: Copics colored on stamp and spritzed with alcohol

Accessories: Ribbon, Dragonflies from the jewelery section, ScorPal.
